Although Orange comes with many health benefits and the fact that it provides more than 100% of the daily recommended Vitamin C intake according to myfooddata; but that shouldn’t overshadow its harmful effects when consumed at large. Many people often neglect the effects of consuming oranges excessively in a single day. According to the American Chemical Society , oranges offer many health benefits which include boosting your immune system, giving you a better skin and even helps to improve your cholesterol levels and heart health. Also, orange peel is rich in Polyphenols which can prevent diabetes. That sounds pretty much cool, isn’t it?
However, too many intake of nutrients of this fruit comes with some side effects which could discomfort you or aid a serious sickness. It is recommended not to consume more than 1-2 oranges per day since even only a single orange provides more than enough daily value of Vitamin C intake. It is considered excessive when consuming up to 4 or more oranges in a single day.
The side effects vary from person to person depending on their health status. For instance, hyperkalemia patients should be careful not to consume too many fruits that are high in potassium, such as oranges and bananas since, already; they have excess of potassium in their body. This is a significant concern for people whose kidneys are not fully functional, as the additional potassium will not be effectively removed from the body.
The followings are the usual side effects of too much intake of Vitamin C from oranges: vomiting, heartburn, insomnia, diarrhea, nausea, bloating or cramps, insomnia, headaches and even heart attack. Also, too much fiber intake (which you could get from eating around 5-7 oranges) could give you gastrointestinal symptoms. 25 to 30 grams is the daily recommended fiber consumption according to ucsfhealth. Oranges are indeed a great fruit with many health benefits, but you should enjoy them in moderation for its best result.
